Comfort

What brings comfort in life? That was the question I asked myself this week as I started work on this layout. The obvious answers to me were those I love most, my husband, kids, family. But I wanted to do something different than that with this layout. Then I thought about the peace and serenity I feel when I enter my bedroom after a long day. Ok, that brings me comfort. I'll focus on that. So I went about taking some photos. When it came time to print the photos I realized the majority of the things that make me feel good and keep me grounded are items either made by my grandmother or skills she taught me.... the lace doilies she crocheted, the pillowcases she tatted the edging on, the cross stitch she taught me, and the quilts she was always working on - those things and thoughts of her have brought me comfort this week.
